Torvesard

Torvesard is a clanless Dremora who refuses to let the secrets of Apocrypha go undisturbed. He is encountered throughout Apocrypha and the Telvanni Peninsula while you serve Hermaeus Mora in his attempts to protect said secrets. He wields a maul and has illusion-based duplication abilities, as well as the odd skill of showing up anywhere near undetected.

He has been described as having complex allegiances and motivations, making it difficult to discern whether he is friend or foe.^[1]

Quest-Related Events[edit]

Keeper of the Fate[edit]

While helping Curate Gadayn solve the mystery behind the sudden sickness within the Necropolis, you soon learn it is a plot by the Hidden Kindred to steal the relic, the Fulcrum Obscura. After you reach where it is held in the Catacombs, you will soon find Prelate Faram and Torvesard already there in the middle of taking it:

Prelate Faram: "Ah, the Fulcrum Obscura—wait. Someone approaches, Torvesard. Quick, take the relic!"

Torvesard: "The relic broke! Still, this portion contains the power we need. I leave our guests to you, Blightcrown."

Blightcrown: "The time to hide is over. Behold Blightcrown, most favored priest of Peryite! I leave you with a blessing from the Prince of Pestilence!"

After Plague-Gusher is summoned, Blightcrown follows Torvesard through the portal.

Fate's Lost Dream[edit]

While investigating what is happening in the mining town of Alavelis with Scruut, you soon find yourself entering a portal to Apocrypha and chasing after the Hidden Kindred and their Daedric allies. Your chase leads you to the Tranquil Catalog where you need to access the Pool of Inquiry to find out what the invaders are searching for. Once in the Tranquil Archives, you will encounter Torvesard speaking with Kynreeve Ryl across the abyss:

Scruut: "The Tranquil Archives. One of the main repositories for Hermaeus Mora's glyphics. We need to find the invaders, mortal."

Torvesard: "Ah, this is the glyphic! Now I know where to find the memory of the dream your Prince helped me remember, despite your predilections, Ryl."

Kynreeve Ryl: "Prince Vaermina commands me to punish Mora's servants, clanless. So I do."

Torvesard: "Excessive and pointless, but I have what I came for. I'm leaving."

Kynreeve Ryl: "Do what you will. I'll deal with our eavesdroppers."

Spirit of Fate[edit]

While investigating Tel Rendys with Leramil the Wise, you soon find out Master Shelreni and the Dusksabers are trying to enter the barricaded tower to retrieve a book called the Tormenting Eye, which is one of the eldritch Black Books of Hermaeus Mora. You soon encounter the Meln the Mouthless, is swiftly captured in a Soul Gem and taken to her tower where she will try and get him to reveal how to unlock the book to read it. After you enter the tower of Tel Baro, you will soon overhear Master Shelreni speaking with Torvesard:

Master Shelreni: "Meln is in my power, Torvesard. He'll unlock the Black Book soon enough."

Torvesard: "He better, Shelreni. We need the rite hidden within The Tormenting Eye or else all is for naught."

Master Shelreni: "Tell the Princes. I'll uphold my end of the bargain. I expect them to uphold theirs."

A Hidden Fate[edit]

After you have entered the Infinite Panopticon to find the Fulcrum Obscura and destroyed the censers infecting the area, you will eventually catch up to Torvesard and Blightcrown and overhear them speaking about their goal:

Torvesard: "See how the Fulcrum vibrates? What we seek is here."

Blightcrown: "Another eye? It looks like all the others to me."

Torvesard: "Have faith, diseased one. This eye contains the memory of the dream we seek."

Blightcrown: "Then let's get this over with. I can't hide us between the layers of reality much longer."

Torvesard: "Ah, fate's mortals. I have no wish to harm you. Turn back and let us finish what we started."

Leramil the Wise: "They dare enter one of Hermaeus Mora's forbidden memories? We must follow them! Let me open a portal …. There!"

Meln the Mouthless: "Proceed carefully. Between the energy here and Blightcrown's manipulation of reality, Leramil's portal could behave erratically."

You can follow them through the Panopticon until you reach the Eye of Mora they entered. Once inside, you will find yourself in a memory of a cavern. Further down the passage, you will come across Torvesard:

Meln the Mouthless: "You're as transparent as I am! And look, there's Torvesard!"

Torvesard: "We're in a memory of Hermaeus Mora, mortal. Here, no harm may befall us. I suggest we use this opportunity to confer."

Talk with him to see what you can learn from him:

"When dealing with matters of fate, meetings such as this meeting are inevitable.
Know that I am Torvesard. And know that we need not be adversaries in these matters. I simply seek an ancient dream, barely remembered. Lost knowledge, nothing more."

The knowledge you seek can destroy reality.

"Is that what Hermaeus Mora and his High Elf lackey told you? Can you imagine any revelation that possesses such power?
No, this is about keeping secrets. Hoarding knowledge. Stealing memories. Hermaeus Mora, the great miser of Oblivion!"

Then tell me more about the knowledge you seek.

"All I have is fragments of a dream. Even Vaermina could not help me recall it. But we remembered enough to get us this far. Hermaeus Mora stole this knowledge from us.
I do not wish to harm you, mortal. To harm anyone. But I will learn the truth."

And where's Blightcrown? Why are you working with Peryite's priest?

"The pompous mortal riddled with disease? The memory rejected him. We entered together but I stand here, alone. Except for you.
But worry not for Peryite's priest. Blightcrown has skills. It should be a simple matter for him to return to Nirn."

So what now, Torvesard?

"I will continue my search. You, however, should turn back. Wandering the memories of a Daedric Prince is dangerous for one such as I. For you, such a journey will most likely prove fatal.
I would hate to see fate's chosen reach such an ignoble end."

After he said his piece, he will open a portal and take his leave:

Torvesard: "Heed my words, mortal."

Meln the Mouthless: "If I learned anything as a Telvanni magister, it's this. When a Dremora tells you to go right, you go left. Let's see what this memory contains."

Progressing the memory, you will soon reach a massive shrine to Vaermina. As you approach you will see the memory play out, Hermaeus Mora floats in front of a statue of Vaermina. Words are spoken between the pair, with Mora insisting he has done something to protect reality and that everyone would be made to forget. As you reach the base of the destroyed statue of Vaermina, Torvesard will appear out of a portal:

Torvesard: "And now you know of Hermaeus Mora's grand betrayal. Once I restore Vaermina's statue, the process of restoring the memory will begin."

Torvesard: "I suggest you defend yourself, mortal."

You will need to fight off Dreamcarvers and Ravenous Hungers, while this is happening he will be restoring the statue. By the time Mora arrives, Torvesard will have restored the statue and thus changed the memory:

Torvesard: "The Prince of Fate comes, but too late! What was shattered has been restored!"

Hermaeus Mora: "Who dares enter this forbidden memory? No! What have you done?"

Hermaeus Mora: "Flee while you can, transgressor! Your reckless actions threaten all of reality!"

Hermaeus Mora: "This memory has changed. Chosen, speak with me."

Conclave of Fate[edit]

During this quest, you will have to attend the Assembly of Masters to warn the Telvanni of Master Shelreni's plans to kill them all while they put her on trial. Although Master Gothren prevents Shelreni from killing anyone, Master Marena is kidnapped and is brought to the Shrine of Vaermina which is the location where the Mora's memory from A Hidden Fate takes place. You will find Shelreni has opened the Black Book and is using the ritual to apparently transfer Vaermina's essence to Master Marena's body. While Torvesard is watching the ritual take place he does not comment on it despite Blightcrown talking to him.

You manage to arrive in time to interupt the ritual and fight off the Aspect of Vaermina. Afterwards, while you manage to free Master Marena and recover the Black Book, it turns out there is a back up plan in play:

Master Shelreni: "Taking the Black Book won't stop us. And one of you will serve just as well as a sacrifice."

Blightcrown: "No need to involve outsiders, Shelreni."

Blightcrown: "Prince Vaermina accepts your sacrifice and deems you a worthy vessel!"

Torvesard: "I regret the bloodshed, but soon Mora's injustice will be undone."

Vaermina: "With this vessel, I can enter Apocrypha and strike at Mora's heart! With me, my faithful!"

A Calamity of Fate[edit]

After Vaermina enters Apocrypha while hidden in a mortal's body, you will need to follow leads to find out the plans of the Hidden Kindred and their daedric allies. You first speak with Master Shelreni's spirit who reveals that they plan to invade another memory of Hermaeus Mora. You then return to the Infinite Panopticon to chase after Vaermina, Torvesard will accompany her and Blightcrown as he goes to recover a memory of his from another Eye of Mora.

Vaermina will have corrupted the memory, but you are eventually able to piece it together. Soon Hermaeus Mora arrives and bids you to enter the Mythos to stop them from touching the Glyphic of Hidden Paths. Once inside the Mythos, you will find Vaermina waiting for Torvesard to unlock the wards:

Vaermina: "How much longer, Torvesard?"

Torvesard: "These locks have held for millennia. Just a little more …."

Vaermina will then notice you and summon Mezzamma the Lurker to fight you. While this is happening, Torvesard will continue his work:

Torvesard: "Almost … got it …."

After Mezzamma the Lurker is slain, Hermaeus Mora will appear before the last seal is broken:

Vaermina: "No! Hermaeus Mora approaches!"

Torvesard: "But we're so close!"

Vaermina: "Damn you, Mora! We must slip away while we can, Torvesard."

Hermaeus Mora: "The Dreamweaver flees, but what of the glyphic vault?"

Hermaeus Mora: "Vaermina will pay for the damage she has wrought on my realm!"

Hermaeus Mora: "Approach, chosen, and hear my words."

Speaking with Hermaeus Mora, he will ask you to view the Glyphic of Hidden Paths, to understand how it all started. Using the Glyphic, you will see three statues representing Hermaeus Mora, Vaermina and Peryite appear:

Vaermina: "Why have you called us all together, Prince of Fate?"

Hermaeus Mora: "We must deal with this problem, Dreamweaver. I have seen what happens if we do nothing."

Hermaeus Mora: "Already the threads of fate unravel. They have no regard for the chaos they can cause!"

Torvesard: "That's it! What I needed to spark my memory! I will restore the rest, Lord of Secrets. I will restore it all!"

Hermaeus Mora: "Torvesard! Only one of the Unseen could evade my sight here!"

Hermaeus Mora: "Chosen, we must speak."

An Unhealthy Fate[edit]

After the events of A Calamity of Fate Hermaeus Mora will be feeling the efforts of the attacks on him and his realm. His subjects and some of your allies are also feeling the effects, leading them to become sick and lash out at everyone. After you investigate and stop the sabotague at Cipher's Midden, you can return to your allies only to find Scruut and Leramil have gotten worse. After you have spoken with the sickly Scruut, Torvesard will teleport into the room:

Torvesard: "Your allies suffer needlessly, mortal. Allow me to aid them."

Curate Gadayn: "This affliction is beyond my skills, friend. See what the Dremora has to offer."

Speak with Torvesard to find out why he is offering his help:

"Vaermina and Peryite have gone too far with their corruption. It works its way into the very fabric of Apocrypha. You only need to look to your two allies to see the harm it causes.
I can ease their suffering, mortal."

You've been working with Vaermina and Peryite the whole time. Why should I trust anything you say?

"It was an alliance of necessity. I needed their assistance to recover that which was taken from us in ancient times. Hermaeus Mora did what he thought right, as have I. I have no desire to punish him for following his nature."

So what exactly are you offering?

"I know where to find Blightcrown so that you can stop him before he does irreparable damage to this realm. And I can show you where Vaermina has gone. I no longer care to share the ancient memory with her or Peryite."

Why would you help me after all this?

"Because I also require help. I offer a trade. An end to this assault on Apocrypha for the assistance of fate's chosen.
Decide, mortal. Blightcrown even now works his way toward the core of this realm. Soon it will be too late to reverse the damage."

All right. Tell me where to find Blightcrown.

"I will mark a location on your map. Here we can open a path to the place Hermaeus Mora calls the Mythos. Not to a memory this time, but to the here and now.
Then you can stop Blightcrown before the corruption becomes irreversible."

Very well. Now aid Leramil and Scruut. / What do you mean, open a path?

He will then open a portal and say:

Torvesard: "It will take all of us to reach the Mythos. Allow me to ease the suffering of your allies."

Scruut: "I can see again!"

Leramil the Wise: "Go, proxy. I shall join you at the location."

Speaking with Torvesard before entering the portal:

"I, too, shall meet you at the Mythos. It will take all of us working together to end the threat posed by Blightcrown and Vaermina.
Just know that the relief I granted your allies is fleeting. As long as the corruption persists, they are in danger."

Once at the site, you will need to help Leramil and Torvesard to align the threads of fate to enter the Mythos. You have the option of speaking with Torvesard prior to this:

"Mortals manipulating the very strands of fate. How unlike Hermaeus Mora to put such power in your hands. He must be truly desperate to keep us in the dark concerning the crimes he perpetrated so long ago."

If we're going to help each other, I need to know what you're really after.

"I assumed my intentions were quite clear. I seek to restore that which was wiped from existence in the ancient past by Hermaeus Mora. The memories that I only suspected were real because of the dream that haunted me."

Why did you think this dream was so important?

"Because Daedra do not normally dream. And this one was relentless. Recurring night after night. A vision of a statue of Vaermina and the ever present gaze of Hermaeus Mora.
I originally sought out the Prince of Dream's help to make sense of it all."

So that's how you got involved with Vaermina and the Hidden Kindred?

"Obviously. But all Vaermina was able to do was determine that she and Peryite shared the barest recollection of the same memory. That knowledge bound us together. We pooled our resources and planned to recover the stolen memory from Apocrypha."

But who are you? You have no clan and Hermaeus Mora called you one of the Unseen.

"I cannot answer those questions. I have no memory of life before I lost my clan. I don't even know where I originally come from. A part of my past is missing. A part of me. And I won't rest until I recover it.
Some memory returns, but not enough."

As you align one of the threads, you will hear Torvesard comment:

Torvesard: "Another layer aligns. The way is opening."

Before you bring the portal in full alignment:

"Do as Leramil says, mortal. Bringing these disparate threads into alignment is no easy task!"

After you have opened the way to the Mythos, Hermaeus Mora will arrive and ask to talk to you. If you speak with Torvesard beforehand:

"Your master beckons, mortal.
Tell him I have no wish to continue the assault on his realm. In fact, I wish to end it."

Once you have spoken with Mora, he will summon the rest of your allies:

Hermaeus Mora: "I call forth all whose fates are intertwined with yours, chosen. Only together can you save reality."

<Scruut, Curate Gadayn and Meln appear.>

Curate Gadayn: "Have I mentioned how much I detest teleportation?"

Meln the Mouthless: "You certainly do tend to collect an odd assortment of companions."

Torvesard: "The path to the Mythos awaits, mortal. Let us not linger too long."

You have the option of talking to your allies, including Torvesard before entering the Mythos. You can take the opportunity to ask Torvesard some questions:

"An odd collection of allies for someone so formidable. You may count me among them. At least until our paths once again diverge.
I am ready to enter the Mythos when you are, mortal."

Why can't Hermaeus Mora sense your presence, Torvesard?

"The Prince of Fate has his secrets and I have mine.
The truth is, however, I do not know. That is one of the things I hope to learn when I recover the stolen memory from the ancient past."

You think the memory is about you?

"I believe the lost memory concerns us all. But yes, I think it holds a special significance for myself. What that is, I can only imagine. Not knowing, though … it drives me to reveal what was hidden. No matter the cost."

When you enter the Mythos, you will find Vaermina and Blightcrown are already there and manufactories producing the fever dream disease are active:

Vaermina: "Fate's champions pursue us, Blightcrown. Deal with them while I locate the glyphics."

Blightcrown: "Oh, my manufactories of corruption will keep them busy, Prince Vaermina."

Torvesard: "Disable Blightcrown's manufactories and the corruption will dissipate. Just shatter the dream crystal that binds them to the Mythos."

Torvesard: "Save Apocrypha while I pursue Vaermina."

Scruut: "Come, Gadayn. We'll take the west portal and leave the east to Leramil and fate's chosen."

Leramil the Wise: "Good thinking, Scruut. This way, proxy."

You will assist your allies with destroying the manufactories. Eventually you will find and confront Blightcrown and kill him, stopping the production of any more of the disease. After this a portal to the Mythos Vaults will appear and only Meln will be able to come with you. Once in the vaults, you will need to fight Vaermina in Shelreni's body and then in her form as one of Vaermina's Nightmares. After this, Vaermina will appear in her own form and you will need to use the Tormenting Eye Black Book on her to kick her out of Apocrypha.

At Hermaeus Mora's request, he will have you check on the Glyphic of Lost Memories, as soon as you enter the vault you will find Torvesard in the middle of taking it:

Torvesard: "And now our deal is done, mortal. I helped you save Apocrypha, and you helped me enter this vault."

Torvesard: "I will unlock this glyphic and recover the second part of the lost memory!"

You then leave the Vaults and speak with Hermaeus Mora.

Chronicle of Fate[edit]

Leramil with have you speak with Scruut about the upcoming ceremony being held in your honor. However when you meet with Scruut she will instead explain she detected a disruption in Fate near Cipher's Midden and asks you to investigate as she believes it may be Torvesard. You and Meln will follow up on this and soon find Torvesard using the Glyphic of Lost Memories at the end of path along the cliff face:

Meln the Mouthless: "Look!"

Torvesard: "Again."

Peryite: "… too far, Mora!"

Vaermina: "It doesn't matter what you foresee …."

Hermaeus Mora: "… reality, you must all … forget!"

Torvesard: "And there it is. Another piece of my memory restored. We should speak, mortal."

Speak with him to see what he has to say:

"The Prince of Fate thinks himself so perfect. But for all his power, he couldn't eliminate the memory he so desperately sought to hide. Not from my dreams, not from his own mind. And now I remember most of it. Only one secret remains to uncover."

I don't understand, Torvesard.

"Why would you? You are merely mortal. But I have wandered the planes of Oblivion for eons, an outcast with no clan.
I believed I was formed that way. A forgotten scrap of creation. Until the dream began to haunt me. A fragment of an ancient memory."

The dream that started all this?

"No! The dream that will end it! That will finally restore all that was lost. Hermaeus Mora caused all this with his greed and selfishness. He made us all forget. He made me forget!"

Tell me. What secret was so dangerous it had to be obliterated? What did Mora make you forget?

"There was another Daedric Prince! My Prince! A Prince that saved me and preserved just enough of my memory so that I could one day save them in return. A Prince whose jealous and craven siblings cast down and wiped from the annals of history."

Another Daedric Prince? Do they still exist?

"No Prince of Oblivion can truly be destroyed. The final glyphic contains that secret. How to find them and restore them to their rightful place. And then, Mora will answer for his crimes.
See for yourself. I leave the glyphic for you to examine."

While you examine the Glyphic, Torvesard will open a portal and leave. Meanwhile, you will witness the final part of the argument between Peryite and Vaermina against Hermaeus Mora, where the former removed all memory of Ithelia, the Prince of Paths and Mistress of the Untraveled Road.

Prisoner of Fate[edit]

Soon after the events of Necrom and Scions of Ithelia, Leramil will ask to meet with you as she has word of Torvesard's movements in obtaining the third and final Glyphic he needs to find and free Ithelia. You will need to investigate three locations around Tamriel which fate says Torvesard will visit.

In Reaper's March, you will be led to the Do'Krin Temple which has a hidden shrine to Boethra. As you approach the statue of Boethra, Leramil will sight Torvesard:

Leramil the Wise: "Why would Torvesard seek out a shrine to Boethiah—wait. Up above! Torvesard is here!"

Torvesard: "Ah, Mora's champions. I expected to run into you eventually."

Torvesard: "Boethiah's blade, Abolisher, is mine now. The first of the three relics I require is in my hands."

Torvesard: "Soon Prince Ithelia will be restored. I hope you are there to witness her glory!"

Leramil the Wise: "A relic of Boethiah? One moment, proxy. We should speak."

When you visit Grahtwood, you will learn Torvesard had searched the Reliquary of Stars, but was unable to find the associated relic. You also find out he has allied with the Recollection, a group of Bosmer cultists with Ayleid ties.

In Stonefalls, you will find your way to the hidden Sanctuary of Whispers within Mephala's Nest. Once you reach the deepest part of the shrine, you will find Torvesard standing in front of an empty altar:

Torvesard: "Nothing. Fate seems to be fighting back. I wonder how much of that is because of you."

Leramil the Wise: "Torvesard, talk to fate's chosen. Tell us what this is all about."

You can speak with Torvesard to learn what he is doing:

"Fate's chosen? How presumptuous a title Hermaeus Mora has bestowed upon you.
The Prince of Fate is using you, mortal. Long ago, he and his allies inflicted a terrible wrong on my Prince. Now he hopes you can stop me from undoing that damage."

Tell us what you're trying to do, Torvesard. Make us understand.

"How can a mere mortal understand the convolutions of Oblivion?
Prince Ithelia, the Prince of Paths. Mistress of the Untraveled Road. Fate-Changer. The Dark Reflection, the Last Tomorrow. She Who Saw and Wept. Mora, in his jealousy, erased her."

What do you mean, erased her?

"Hermaeus Mora convinced other Daedric Princes to conspire against Ithelia. He played upon their fears of the unknown. None of them understood the gift of choosing what is to be.
They all turned against my Prince."

So this is about revenge?

"Revenge? No, that is for my Prince to mete out. I am a scion of Ithelia, and my ancient purpose is to restore her to power. To undo what the cowardly Princes did to her. And the very relics they used against Ithelia will help me find her."

Is that what you're looking for here? A relic?

"Mephala's Skein of Secrets. Don't bother looking—it isn't here. It seems Mephala's Ayleid worshipers locked it away in some vault beneath West Weald long ago.
No matter. The Skein would help, but I'll find another way to reach my Prince."

Hermaeus Mora says reality itself will be undone if you find Ithelia.

At this, Torvesard has had enough and takes his leave:

Torvesard: "And you believe Mora? Stand aside, mortal. I will not be swayed from my purpose."

Leramil the Wise: "A Skein of Secrets, used to defeat Ithelia long ago? I cannot help but wonder what became of it. Come, proxy. Let us speak."

After you have investigated the three locations, Leramil will realise this involves the Good Daedra and the pair of you head to Vvardenfell. Now accompanied by Curate Gadayn, you learn of an ancient plan between Azura, Boethiah, Mephala and Hermaeus Mora at Holamayan Monastery. Your investigation leads you to the ruins of Anudnabia and the demiplane known as the Shrine of Inevitable Secrets.

Fighting your way through the Recollection cultists, you catch up with Torvesard who stands in front of a portal with Boethiah's sword:

Torvesard: "Boethiah's blade led me to this portal. The path to the Mythos, Apocrypha's heart."

Torvesard: "Only those bearing the essence of Azura, Boethiah, or Mephala can access this portal."

Torvesard: "The gate recognizes Boethiah's blade. Now I can return to the Mythos and find my Prince at last!"

Soon after, Hermaeus Mora will arrive and reopens the portal so you can chase Torvesard. As you go through the Mythos, you will encounter Dremora calling themselves "Shardborn". When you reach the Vaults, you will reach Torvesard who remembers something important:

Torvesard: "I remember our realm—Mirrormoor! Ithelia's servants awaken!"

Torvesard: "My apologies, mortal. They see anyone marked by Mora as a foe, and I have no time to tell them any different."

You will need to defeat Dexxiuk along with waves of Clan Shardborn Dremora, Glass Fragments and Mirroplasms before you can resume the chase. Enter the portal to the Glyphic of Shattered Reflections, you will find Torvesard walking towards the third Glyphic:

Leramil the Wise: "Torvesard! He found the last glyphic!"

Torvesard: "The last glyphic and the final secret. I must know what happened to Prince Ithelia!"

Hermaeus Mora: "We defeated Prince Ithelia. Now we must all forget our victory."

Priest Dandera Helas: "Forget? Why should I forget how I took this mortal shell and tracked Ithelia with my Skein?"

Acolyte Dugikh: "Azura and I did our part with these vessels of flesh. And the Lamp and Abolisher."

Adept Rakzzin-jo: "Listen, my fellow Princes. The Lord of Fate is right. Imprison Ithelia in your Mythos, Mora. Then erase all memory of her existence."

Torvesard: "Imprisoned by cowards? Abandoned by betrayers? But I remember! And I know how to free my Prince!"

Follow him through the portal to the Mythos Spire, you will see Torvesard in the distance, opening a gate in an obelisk-structure:

Torvesard: "Sealed away, alone for millennia? I will free my Prince and restore her glory!"

Curate Gadayn: "Torvesard opened the prison!"

Entering Ithelia's prison, you don't find the Forgotten Prince, instead you see a distraught Torvesard standing before an empty throne:

Torvesard: "Empty! After roaming Oblivion and Nirn for ages, tormented by a question I could not even frame, this is my answer? I did not forget my Prince!"

Speak with Torvesard, to see what happens from here:

"I do not understand. Where is Prince Ithelia? If she escaped, why did she not contact me?
You! Is this some new trick of the Lord of Fate?"

I'm as surprised as you are, Torvesard.

"No. This is no trick. Do you see? Prince Ithelia has escaped. She freed herself from this prison, or was freed by some hand other than mine.
Perhaps the simple act of remembering restored her power, dissolved her bonds. I … do not know."

If she escaped, where would she have gone?

"Prince Itelia is the Mistress of the Untraveled Road—she could be anywhere. Perhaps she will be drawn to places or things she knew before her craven foes locked her away.
Yes, that must be right. And I know what I must do. Farewell, mortal."

Where are you going?

"I still have a task to do. I need to find my Prince. Help her. Restore her to the power that is hers by right. And there are other scions out there. I remember them, too, now.
Mortal. Fate's chosen. I expect our paths will cross again."

Torvesard, wait!

Torvesard ignores you and teleports away.
